French War Cemetery Condé-Folie

Located 30 kilometers from Amiens and 25 kilometers from Abbeville, the National Necropolis of Condé-Folie contains the bodies of 3,312 French combatants who died for France during the Campaign of France. The fighters who fought in and around this municipality around the Somme are buried here. This cemetery was created in 1950, and it is divided into two parts. In the south, the square with local victims and the Muslim square are laid out with 829 crosses. While the second part, north of the road, next to the graves is an ossuary with a thousand bodies. From 1953 to 1957, the bodies of fighters were exhumed from many cemeteries in the region to be transferred to this site
